Saw this, couldn't resist plugging in some of my favorite characters, loved the winner, so I'm posting. This doesn't make me want to write a Hunger Games fusion, but it does make me want to write something with mixed characters and lots of death.

Buffy, Lost Boys, Jurassic Park, Fast and the Furious, and MCU characters )

While I haven't yet watched Mockingjay part one (I tend to watch the Hunger Games movies when they're available on Blu-Ray, though I may make an exception for this one if I can work it in tomorrow between car repair and leaving town -- so probably not), this version of the hanging tree gave me chills.

I'm giving The Flash a try. Missed episode one being available on Hulu+, but so far, it's kind of adorable. In particular, I love slight spoilers )

Watched the latest WWE pay-per-view, Survivor Series, and overall came away pleased though spoilers )

The Jurassic World teaser trailer does nothing but annoy me. I WANT THE ACTUAL TRAILER NOW. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOREVER. MORE DINOSAURS DUDES DINOSAURS FOREVER.

Still source reviewing for my actual Yuletide assignment, but one of the treats has now reached 8500 words oh my god it just won't stop. It's paused for the moment, and I need to do a little more source review for it, too, but oh, man, this treat is ridiculous and out of control. I'm so excited about it and my assignment. (I'll be excited about the other treats I started, too, once I get to work on them again.)

Unrelated to media, except in that it falls into my garage and mechanic love, I tried some minor repairs on my car, which failed, alas. I think the battery is just dead, due to not being able to start it for a week in the cold weather while I was waiting on a part, and J and I have now joined AAA, so I'm calling them in the morning. Here's hoping the jump will be it, because I really need to be on the road fairly early tomorrow. I have a four hour drive down to J's, and I don't really want to do it in the dark with the weather we're having. Plus I'm off to pick up a friend at the train station on Tuesday, and that will be an easier drive if I've made it to J's on Monday. So looking forward to friend's visit.

As often happens anymore, I am behind most of fandom. For a long time, I was holding off on reading the Hunger Games trilogy because I wanted to watch the movies first. (I tend to enjoy movies better if I see them before I read the book.) And I did watch the first movie, and I enjoyed it. Then someone recommended to fics to me: There's Another River on the Other Side and How Rue Became the Mockingjay, both about Rue and Thresh being the ones who survive, and I was hooked. I bought the trilogy with the intent to read only the first one, and then ended up reading all three in one night.

What I really, really want are more stories about Rue and Thresh surviving. Anyone have any recs?

This post sparked by the fact I'm watching Hunger Games tonight in preparation for finally watching Catching Fire Friday night after work. My dvd order came in, but I don't have time to watch until Friday. Looking forward to it!

One final thing: anyone talking about the Veronica Mars movie? I saw it last Friday, and plan to watch it again this weekend (I was a Kickstarter backer, so I have a digital download), and I came late to the tv show, so I'd love to see meta and discussions and squee and rage, if they're happening.
